ACTIVIST TRAINING: FIGHT FOR $15 & FAIR PAY

Start: Tuesday, March 20, 2018 6:00 PM

End: Tuesday, March 20, 2018 8:00 PM

When hardworking men and woman can't make enough to put food on the table, or a roof over their heads - our families and communities suffer. When women are systematically paid less than male colleagues -- our families and communities suffer. We're standing up to say no more.

Rhode Island is joining a global movement in over 300 cities on six continents -- the Fight for $15 -- and we're making sure that at the same time we close the pay gap for women and people of color by passing the Fair Pay Act.

Working together these two bills can support our hard working families, put money into our local economy, and make our system fairer for all.

What’s the secret this campaign's success? You. And others like you raising their voices. All of us who have come together to share and elevate the stories of what it’s like to live on low pay or face pay discrimination for no reason other than your gender or ethnicity.

Join us on Tuesday, March 20th to learn how you can take the lead on this campaign. We will go over:

- History of minimum wage and fair pay
- Economic arguments for these worker friendly policies
- The best responses to inevitable corporate attacks
- The campaign plan and legislative strategy
-What you can do right now to help pass the bills!
